"Should be 2"?

If you use the defines as Lee suggested, then you don't need these
comments either.

u8 is a Linux specific and implementation detail. I think it's safe to
assume that everybody knows that I2C slave addresses are 7 bits (and
you even provide a valid range), so just drop the "(u8)".

This should probably be written as "<8 9 10>" for consistency.

"Should be three"? Although since as I mentioned the chip doesn't
support polarity inversion, this should now be "2".

All of this can probably go away. The new way of doing this is to
reference the standard bindings document using something like the below:

  - #pwm-cells: Should be 2. See pwm.txt in this directory for a
                description of the cells format.

Since you have a restriction on the minimum and maximum period lengths,
you could add something like:

                Note that this hardware limits the period length to the
                range 6250-1600000.

"PWM port" -> "PWM channel"

I thought I read that this is now a 1:1 mapping?

And here as well: "< 8 9 10 >" -> "<8 9 10>".
